In Cox regression analysis, longer time to negative RT-PCR was associated with the presence of confirmed infection in family members (HR (95%\u2009CI): 0.56 (0.41 to 0.79)). Paediatric patients with emesis symptom had a longer time to return negative (HR (95%\u2009CI): 0.33 (0.14 to 0.78)). During hospitalisation, the use of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and antiviral drugs at the same time is less conducive to return negative than antiviral drugs alone (HR (95%\u2009CI): 0.85 (0.64 to 1.13)).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The mode of transmission might be a critical factor determining the disease severity of COVID-19.
